Scent Journey
The fragrance initiates with a crisp, slightly acidic burst of bergamot and lemon, providing a bright, ephemeral contrast to the heavy resins that follow.
The heart reveals a structural backbone of cedarwood and patchouli, creating a dry, earthy transition that bridges the gap between the citrus top and the dense base.
The drydown is a long-lasting, linear progression of warm, resinous amber and a clean, medicinal oud, softened by a persistent white musk.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, significantly longer on fabric.
Projects approximately an arm's length for the duration of the heart phase.
Moderate to strong; leaves a noticeable, pleasant trail in the first 3 hours.
